Has snyone worked with this device? It should be great for decoding
DTMF tones for use by the BS2 because it has a 1-wire sync.serial
output. Most of the other decoder IC`s i`ve played with all used a 4-
bit parallel bus to interface with the stamp, taking up 4 I/O pins in
the process. I`m having a problem though with the Shiftin command: it
only wil provide me with the first 3 bits of the 4 bit code from the
IC, and the MSB always seems to be a 1. Any ideas???

Thanks, Rob W

    Hi Rob,

    I tried to use the 3370, but ended up back with the 8870. Just as a curious
    note, the distributor in Spain for Mitel/Zarlink sells thousands of 8870s,
    but never sold ONE 3370 until I asked. I think the price is also higher. You
    could try one device, which is the EDE300 (if my memory serves me right)
    made by www.elabinc.com a parallel to serial converter, with 8-channel
    input. This way you can use the 8870.

    The problem with the 3370 is also that you still need three pins, one to
    detect a valid tone, another to receive data, and another to clock out the
    data. This only saves two pins in relation with the 8870.

    All the best,

    Mike

    I haven't used that part but at first glance, I'd check the clock edge
    polarity. By that I mean: which clock edge shifts the data inside the
    3700? It sounds like you might be sampling on the wrong edge.
